It's bigger than I imagined I think as I slowly open the door and poke my head through what looks like to be the hall way. I take a deep breath and walk out going towards the stairs to only stop and stare at the bottom.

What am I doing? what's down there? what will I face when I get there? Is all I could think as fear came over me. I take a deep breath and take my first step then my next until my last foot hit the bottom.

There's so much noise...

"PANCAKES!"

"Ben! Turn off the game!"

"PANCAKES!"

"Calm down children"

"Are there any kidneys?"

"I WANT PANCAKES!"

Plates moving and laughter go around the room. I walk up to the door and once again take a deep breath. Don't be afraid I tell myself before finally opening the door. Everything becomes quite as I walk In, they stare and I stare back.

There's a boy with a game boy with blonde hair, who looks like the character Link. There the young lady Sally with her teddy bear, the very very tall man with no face Slender Man and Toby sitting down smiling at me at me warmly. Theres A masked man and a guy seating next to him with a Hoodie on, slouched over in his chair not paying any attention to his surroundings. The infamous Jeff the Killer that I've read so much about, glaring at me and another guy with Dark Brown Hair and A Blue mask looking in the fridge.

"LIZZY!" Sally yells out as she wraps around my waist with a big hug. "Um...I..." I stutter and clutch my fist for nothing comes out of my mouth. Everyone laughs at my shyness and continues with what they were doing. Sally grabs my hand and pulls me towards a seat across from Toby and tells me to sit down and sits next to me. "Hey where's clock work, Jane, and Nina?" Asks Toby. "Out" says the boy playing his game without looking up.

"Every one introduce yourself" slender man finally says.

"Ben" quickly says the boy sitting down clicking his game boy rapidly not wanting to get distracted.

"I'm Masky" the guy in the white mask says as he waves his hand a little, his nice low deep voice again speaks and says " Hoodie" as he points to the guy sitting next to him.

"Im Sally and this is Mr.D but you already know that." She giggles.

"Jeff-Jeff the Killer" Jeff's smirks proudly as he says his name.

"I...Im..Ej" says a low shy voice coming from the guy with the blue mask as he closes the fridge, pulling out package of raw meat. Must be the kidneys.

"The girls should be here sooner or later, you can meet them then" Toby says.

"Great everyones acquainted with each other. lets eat" slender man says as he puts everything on the table and everyone digs in. I stare at Toby and he looks at me, "not hungry?" I look at him in confusion, "...starving" I respond not knowing what to say.
After eating I help slender wash the plates and clean up. Of all the things my mom taught me I remember was manners and hospitality. "Your very kind" says slender man. " I try to be" I say trying to make the conversation short. "Your frightened aren't you" he says. "Of course I am. I've been stabbed, taken to a house full of complete strangers, with a man who killed my parents who I hunted down for ten years straight...i don't know why I wouldn't be and I don't know why I'm telling you this.." I say looking down at my hands that where foamed with dish soap. "Because you trust me." He says finishing up with everything using his tentacles/extra arms and walking out of the room.

Alone in the kitchen I feel like I'm going to cry and wipe my teary eyes with my sleeve. Someone then grabs my waist and in a flash I grab the knife from the sink and turn around to hold it up to.....Toby's neck. A chance I tell myself. He just stands there smiling, "do it" he says as he pushes his neck closer to the blade. I glare into his eyes looking in deeply into heartlessness and then I actually think. I'm only alive because of him....if he dies...I'll just be buried down with him.

"I hate you.." I say jerking the knife away from his body and back into the sink. He laughs a but and smiles " I know" he says before patting me on the head and moving towards the living room and I follow leaving the kitchen and seeing that everyones there. Toby flops down on the couch next to Hoodie. Masky arguing with Jeff, Sally wanting EJ to pick her up and Ben sitting on the floor on a big red carpet in front of the fire place leaning on what looks like to be a huge dog.

"Not today, not yet" I tell myself. looking at them. It seems like there just a strange messed up happy family but I already know that there all killers, murders, and they might soon kill me if I screw up. But...Will Toby let them?...No doubt Of course he would.... Almost forgetting the wound, I feel a sharp pain from my stomach and remember him....Zalgo....and fear overwhelms my body like a gush of cold cold and the pain worsens.

"why.." I ask myself as I begin to walk upstairs holding my stomach trying not to think about the pain to much. I come back into Toby's room to lay down since this is the only room that I know of and fall asleep on his bed.

...why is it that I hate you so much and I would do anything I can to kill you yet I second think myself. . . . And hesitate.
Why....?
